JTS Topology Suite


The JTS Topology Suite is an API of spatial predicates and functions for processing geometry. It has the following design goals:
  • JTS conforms to the Simple Features Specification for SQL published by the Open Geospatial Consortium
  • JTS provides a complete, consistent, robust implementation of fundamental algorithms for processing linear geometry on the 2-dimensional Cartesian plane
  • JTS is fast enough for production use
  • JTS is written in 100% pure JavaTM
JTS provides spatial analysis methods such as Intersection
Note: The JTS Topology Suite was formerly known as the "Java Topology Suite". The name has been changed to avoid copyright issues.
